There is no need to "clear" out your system. It does that itself. A colonoscopy is not fun. Weight is a journey, not a destination. You will lose over a period of time. Now if you really medically NEED a colonoscopy that is different. I would wait at least 6 weeks for the banding to heal and give your body a rest. You have the rest of your life to lose weight, it is not a race, it is a lifestyle change!

There are diets/regimes (I know Dr. Oz has one) to "clear out your system" but I would definitely talk to your dr before doing anything like that.

If you aren't "going" that is not uncommon but you don't need a procedure to aid that. Talk to your doctor to see what suggestions he/she may have. Many people take liquid formulas to aid that (mom, Miralax, etc) but definitely ck w/ doctor before taking any of those meds. Also, make sure you are getting enough water/liquids. That makes a big difference.

I think you mean a colonic, not a colonoscopy. You really should speak to your doctor. I am not here to preach but I had a colonic about 15 years ago and it is one of my big regrets. Long sorry short, I had no control of my bowels, AT ALL, for 4 or 5 days. Not even a warning! I did it because it was trendy at the time and one of my coworkers thought it would be a good idea. I took a lot of grief from my regular doctor and then the gastroenterologist that he referred me to. This can be very dangerous and you don't want to open yourself up to any infection.

Please call your doctor tomorrow and have him recommend something for you. Good luck and please let me know what you decide.

Yeah, I'd just ask you lap Dr. One doesn't really have anything to do with the other though so I think you're fine. I also think its great that you're going for your regular colonoscopy testing!

If you eat a balanced varied diet your shouldn't need to be cleaned out... Your body will do that one it's own and I bet if you asked....most bandsters living a good bandster life will tell you that part of their life has changed dramatically since being banded.... I am regular, more frequent, and have very normal looking movements because I am not eating fatty foods, drinking alcohol and have an overall balanced diet.

That's funny! I had to take extra Fiber and laxatives to get my bowels moving again. It's very common.

I am eating well, too, but pooping twice a week. It is awful. Going to start taking Miralax today as per doctor's instructions. I am tracking everything on my fitness pal and only got 4 grams of fiber yesterday and should be getting 25. It is very difficult to do so with a high Protein diet.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
